In a newly broadcast episode of the popular U.S. animated show Family Guy aired on January 3rd (PST), K-Drama and K-Pop went global as the episode poked fun at the genre.
The episode “Candy, Quahog Marshmallow” follows Peter, Cleveland, Joe, and Quagmire as they get hooked on an old K-Drama Winter Summer which featured Quagmire as the lead. Unable to find the VHS tape of the final episode, the group decided to visit South Korea to search for it, encountering Quagmire’s former co-star, Sujin, along the way.
Encountering K-pop while in the country, clips of SISTAR‘s “Touch My Body” music video were played, the girl group undoubtedly receiving global exposure through this.
